Question before I buy - Dmoz/UK/My SQL Links......
Hi there,

I want to buy Links SQL but I have a few questions before I do!

I want to import the entire United Kingdom section of DMOZ into my site - has anyone got this file already set for LINKS SQL -- and if so how much money will it cost for me to buy this ?! :)

Secondly - if people add their own sites to my search engine and later on I update the DMOZ dump for my site, how do I make sure the sites people have added are not deleted by the new DMOZ update I have just imported?

Lastly(!) Any news on the My SQL Links program? I really really need this :)))

Hope somebody can help....

Many thanks,

Clare

Hi,

I have the UK dump for sale, as does Pugdog I think. It doesn't cost much.

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. Links SQL already uses MySQL.

Do you mean the My Links plug-in for Links SQL???

If so, then I believe that Alex404 is working on this and he may have something available soon...

Yes, sorry....MY LINKS SQL...not MySQL (long day at work!!) I hope it's available soon!

How much exactly will it cost for the latest UK dump of DMOZ from you? And can I add sites to the directory and STILL add a newer version of the DMOZ UK directory a few weeks/months down the line? In fact, I wonder how many times DMOZ updates and when an update would be necessary...

Also, how big is the UK DMOZ dump? Will I need at least 200mb of server space?

Sorry for all these questions - Thanks Guys!

:O)

I am not working on a plug-in for Version 2.x.

What I do have is an addon for Version 1.3

I have cuts from DMOZ from 5.26.01

The UK area is in the Regional section (right?)

This cut is 45 meg, compressed, and probably 300 meg uncompressed. The UK part, I have no idea, but estimate it from the percentage of the UK area to the rest of that section of the directory.

If you want this part, and want to install it into a "clean" (meaning no existing links) directory, contact me privately, and I might be able to get you a Links SQL dump that is just the UK regional. I have to figure out the cost, but it would probably be about $25, due to the time factor.
